The Art of Mind Reading,

Sebastian George, the amateur mind
reader" in letter to The Boston Herald,
describing his remarkable gift, gives the
following us his theory as to how mind
reading is accomplished: "When my sub
ject sees on object it is not the eye that
sees, bat the brain, using the eye as O con-
ductor. The more wildly anything is
pictured before the eye the greater the
trcmor of the brain, and the more certain
the mind of its object. The trcmor estab-
lished in my subjects brain travels
throughout the system, and would evil
IDENTIFY go out into the atmosphere, or ether,
perhaps to influence things we know moth
ing of, but here the mind reader steps in
and receives the electric current flor this
believe it isl into his nerves, it travels to
his brain, and there again the object is re-
produced, With me it is certainly very
dim, but the real object is pictured there,
and see with another's eyes. Then,
without contact, 1 receive the trenlor
through the conducting ether, and when
my nerves are in their most susceptible
mood, or on par with my subjects, l
would be just as sure of success. There
is no supernatural power about it what
eVeri it is but o plain, common sense
thing, which, however, VIC can not quite
fathom, If person is not looking at an
object, but making mental picture of it,
Of course the idea gathered by the thought
revealer is not so distinct as when his eyes
are fixed upon it, as natural consequence
When an object is hidden, there is double
work to do If the mind reader has had no
previous knowledge of what the article is
TO be, but even then / will guarantee to
state emphatically whether it is the object
or not when it has been found, and in
nearly every case will tell what it is before
the search liz ended "--EXchange, ~

shocked them Even the old half-condescend-

Of his wife and family was changed, as he
introduced his companions with mingling

Of relief in the absence of his usual seignorial
formality? She only knew that she was

bob is twenty-five feet long and has a
novel steering apparatus. The man in
charge OF the Wheel at the rear, in case he
wants to stop the bob, can raise the long
seat by one turn of the wheel, and al the
same time throw the rear runners toward
the ground or on their toes, at the sama
time causing a large iron claw to scrape tho
ground. The steersman can also pull
cord by his side and a spring drops a heavy
chain directly underneath the runners Of

Oysters in Omaha.

"There is, l believe, only one firm in
this city who receive oysters from the east
in the shell, and I'm under the impression
that they don't handle many" said gen
tleman who is informed on the subject
''But the shells arc handled often enough.
You see shell oysters are expensive, and
unless you are familiar with the oyster
you can't tell if it has just been shucked
or if it is count laid on an old shell and
served. Oyster shells are articles of COM
merce in this part of the country, The
man who opens oysters after serving them
invariably on the half shell-saves the
shell. The next day some lady will drive
up in her carriage and order fifty Or more
shells, as she is to have a reception, q
luncheon, q kensington tea, or something
of the sort; or a restaurant, hotel or some
body will want a few shells. Why, sir, the
toniest affairs in this part Of the west
don't get she'll oysters-zthey use second
hand shells. No one knows the differ
ence.
"You know the eye is always fastened
to the oyster shell, unless cut loose, and
no man back east who knows his business
will cut one loose, as that is proof Of its
being shell oyster, and those who really
do have shell oysters will allow the eye to
stick in order that the customer may be
assured that he is not being served with
bulk oysters OH the half shell. Nice deep
oyster shells are in demand, People buy
canned oysters and get deep shells and
roast tho oyster in the she'll At the
places where you see the sign oysters in
all styles you can't get half she'll oysters
in one place out of hundred; they may
serve them OH q secondhand shell. Oys.
ter shells are used for chickens, but chick
ems don't get any nice shells out here All
they get is the old broken shells, which of
course answer the purpose. Blue Points,
East rivers, Long Island sounds, ETC., on
bill of fare, menu, ETC., generally mean
in this part OF the west secondhand oyS-
Ter shells with nice large bulk oysters laid
Oh the shells, but in a few places you can
find some of these famous shell oysters il
